Pause and reflect! Does this principle reflect laid's broad
vision and Orner's narrow-mindedness? Or does it show of
any reality in the real sense? The present day necessities of
life have brought this to bear upon the fact that all religions
(except Islam as a system) are facing difficulty to harbour
their beliefs on the anvil of knowledge and reason. Nor are
their conduct and code coincide with man's growing urges
and varying climes of the day. They have thus to borrow

day to day practical needs. Hence these religions are totally
incompetent 'to keep pace with the day's accelerating
developments of the man. Slowly and gradually, the
followers of these religions are becoming incapacitated to
rest with their beliefs. Nor are they adherent to their
religion. They are disgusted with their religion. In some
cases, their disgust is transforming into revolt and
insurgency.
The secret of the life of a nation depends upon its
adherence to the belief system; so the followers of these
religions face a danger of gradually disintegrating the very
fabric of their religion. On the contrary, they are seeing
how the Qur'an is meeting the growing needs of the mil!!.

of the followers of their religion should divert to the
teachings oflslam. Under these paradigms, they understand

religious-bitten youth that their religion enjoys superiority
over and above all the religions of the world. In order to
avoid this danger, they have devised the same technique,
which laid had invented for his child. They have started to
bring down Islam to the level of their own religion if their
religion can not be at par with Islam. And likewise this idea
is made mature in the minds of their religious-bitten youth
